boots

Well i was syncing my carbs at dusk and noticed the sparkplug boots(where they attach to the sparkplug) on my #3 and #4 cylinders were randomly arcing against the head! damn:ummm:, that might explain some tuning issues im having, so whats the best route to go? i figure i might as well get all...

Hey All, I'm in the middle of a 93 frame up rebuild. I'm looking for fork boots to black out the uppers. Has anyone installed boots/gaiters on a vmax ? anyone know where I can get a set of boots that fit? Or anyone have a better idea of how to blackout the uppers? DJ

I am having trouble deciding how to update my plug wiring. I need to be confident I can take long trips without being stranded and just haven't been able to get there after reading every post on COPs. No one seems to have taken a long trip yet (I have taken 3 trips of 3500 miles in 7 days each...

As some of you know I'm stripping my bike down pretty much to the frame this winter, I'm down to engine removal this weekend. I'm also a jet engine Mechanic so I know my way around a tool and a manual, with that said I think I take very good care of my bike, but when I removed the rubber boots...

My riding boots have finally crapped out on me. And they don't make them anymore in that style so I was wondering if I could get some feed back on what you guys are wearing. I like mid shin, zip with velcrow closer, I also have a wide foot. i hate ordering them from the web or catalog for...

We went on a bike run this Sunday. We hit a nice 30 mph(much faster than that) Left followed by a 30 mph right. Half way through the right hander I dragged the toe of my boots :surprise:. I laughted to my self and thought holly crap I must have been leaned pretty good for that. The more I ride...

Hey guys, I am going to be installing progressive springs and going to do the seals at the same time. Wondering if anyone has used (or thought of using) those neoprene dust boots that guys use on their dirt bikes? I know they work wonders for the life of fork seals on dirt bikes..might be worth...

http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/boots/teknic/sturgis_motorcycle_boots.html Decent Boot marked down from 90.00 bucks. They should hold up well. They feel great, But bike is parked for season. If anything, a Cheaper **** kicker I guess. Chris

Does anyone know the ID of the stk manifolds that the carbs fit into? Or the OD of the carb outlets(where they fit into the manifolds)? In MM if possible...

When my bikes warms up I can hear a snapping coming from mainly the left rear plug and some from the right rear but not quite as much.If I touch them of course i get shocked and i noticed if i touch the frame and boot at the same time the motor dies,Can those hard plastic boots go bad?,the...

I'm looking to replace the boots, I can see the lower part that connects carb-vboost, but the only part I see for airbox to carb is the big piece that sits inside the airbox. That is piece 43 in this pic.

Does anyone think that these would work for the max, of course the straight ones. Or what mods would I have to do? http://street.parts-unlimited.com/6/388/6027415

Hello trust what the guys have taught me from this site, they know what they are talking about. If i had listened sooner i would have saved a few gray hairs and scraped knuckles. Just got through a carb rebuild. If you are working on your carbs please take a very good look at your intake boots...

Hi everyone, Just recently I noticed fuel weeping from somewhere around the left rear carb where it joins the vboost boots. I have not had the carbs off since a few weeks ago, and there was no immediate fuel in the designated area. This seemed to happen almost overnight. Can anyone...

Okay... gonna show my ignorance here, but have some questions. I used the search function, and saw much info, but not WHERE the V-boost rubber connector hoses are? Heck... I'm not even sure what/where the V-boost is?!? The carb hoses are obvious, and mine look like they have seen better days, so...

:rofl_200:44magnum showed us his boots in the "What did you do to your Vmax today?" thread and I thought it might be a good topic for a fun thread. So here goes. Roger De Coster - Alpine Stars. Been wearing these since 1982!!!. Haven't even had a re-tread.
